Tape power problems!!

[saxonman]

This is a lovely little box i got months ago!!It didn't work at all at first but a little squirt with switch cleaner got the tuner working!! Then done the function switch and got the line in working!!But my problem is the cassette I don't think it's getting power as the volts coming out of the board are only 0.47 surely it must be higher??? also when you turn it to tape it's dead nothing at all!!There circut board has a small chip out of it at the power input socket! would this be the problem?? I'm loving this box sound is fantastic from line in!!It's a real gem so i'm hoping to get it all going!! Thanks for any help
